π₯ NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectileβs velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

ππ»ββοΈ TIL: π¦β¨ #Butterfly wing #color comes from #pterin crystals that bend and scatter #light rather than absorb it, keeping colors vivid without fading.
Chemists developed a faster method to grow these #crystals without toxic solvents, producing small amounts of eco-friendly, non-toxic #pigment. The work points toward glitter made from #DNA-related compounds as a planet-friendlier alternative.
